Guilty as charged: Obado co-accused convicted in Sharon Otieno murder
[Nancy Gitonga, Standard] Former Migori Governor Zachariah Okoth Obado has been convicted of the 2018 murder of Rongo University student Sharon Otieno after the Milimani High Court found that the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.
The court found that although none of the 42 prosecution witnesses directly witnessed the killing, the chain of circumstantial evidence irresistibly pointed to the guilt of the accused persons.
In a landmark judgment delivered on Thursday, Justice Cecilia Githua found Obado and his two co-accused, former Personal Assistant Michael Oyamo and former Migori County Clerk Caspal Obiero, guilty of Sharon's murder.
